    Also to anyone else looking at this wondering where else to get lights, https://teqcustoms.com/

    Pretty good vendor to try out, lead times are long but then again certain parts are backordered and he too has a waiting line behind existing customers.

    Unpaid moderators and admins have to deal with both the positive and negative of an online forum. We do this and support the community buy and large on our own free time. We do so out of our compassion for the community and when we make decisions and make decisions towards members based off relevant information we know that it can be received well or not so well. We just want our objective decision to be met with objective criticism and not subjective judgments.

    It’s not easy and I’ve received my fair share of hate and complaints for shit I’ve done and said.

    @MTgirl and @Daria have bent over backwards to connect members and the vendor together and consistently communicate via PM asking status updates only to be met with silence from the vendor. Several other moderators have been included in the discussion but the prominent figures in trying to resolve this all have been the two I tagged.

    it’s really unfair to label them as you have, as 16 year olds with immaturity cause in my opinion they have been quite mature and patient about this whole ordeal.

    I modded for a large darts forum a while ago. Nowhere near the size of TW. I can totally attest to how this works, while no vendors per se we had to try quite a few times in getting sales finalized peer to peer.

    I also lost a couple of friends over mod decisions and didn't always agree with what I had to do but the site owner's way goes.

    Given KRave in Calgary can build them for less than he's asking, it'll be a slog. Auto parts are the worst up here; they are tough to sell unless you find a community buyer by word of mouth and you're willing to take a bath on the ask for what you're selling.

    B also came after me for not bringing him into a lawsuit I never filed. I'm not sure why he's so aggressive. Anywho, I'm glad OP is banned. Even if I didn't have some, less than half, my money back the dude had it a long time coming.

    Placed order on Oct 31,2022. Was told 8-10 weeks. After many conversations and false promises I asked for a refund. I was told no. They’ve been “up next on the bench for 6 months”. This guy in completely full of it. Why is he still taking orders if he’s so behind? He’s taking money to fulfill old orders is my guess.

    I used Venmo which was a mistake on my part. Considering small claims court. Don’t really care if it costs me. It’s principle at this point

    He was told by staff here that he needed to stop taking orders in late 2021 when we had to intervene because he was already 6+ months behind.
    Did you not read through this thread prior to placing an order?

    No when I looked him up on here it said nothing about it or didn’t see it. There was multiple threads. I clearly wouldn’t order after reading all of this

    After being staff on two large sites, I would never use certain payment options (also a warning in all PMs and for sale ads) and would only use vendors for the site. People that sell on here without the vendor badge have nothing to lose.

    In the future, if you have questions about products or a certain seller, feel free to reach out directly. Hearing about these kinds of issues makes my blood boil.
